Curated 2024: Photography

Sandy  Middleton
Photo Encaustic Paper Sculpture

Sandy Middleton is a mixed media photographic artist from St. Catharines, Some of Middleton’s recent accomplishments; she was selected as one of 52 finalists for the highly competitive Salt Spring National Art prize, in 2023 she won best in paper at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair and recently won the Established Artist Award at the City of St. Catharines Arts Awards. She is the recipient of many Art Council Grants and her work is in collections all over Canada and the US.

Sandy’s encaustic paper sculpture work is about layers, both in meaning and material form. Managing the chaos of the external by carefully dissecting time into small manageable moments. Each layer presents options, possibilities and choices. The image, while important, is deconstructed to allow for a subliminal connection with the viewer.
